NAME
       ptywrap - fool programs into thinking they are talking to a pseudo-tty

SYNOPSIS
       ptywrap

DESCRIPTION
       ptywrap is a simple tool to wrap other programs' input/output streams in a pseudo-tty.

       Many  programs  determine whether or not they should buffer their input/output based on whether or not these are connected to a pseudo-tty.
       Ptywrap can be used to fool programs into thinking that they are connected to a	pseudo-tty  even  if  they  are  not  (e.g.  even  if  the
       input/output is redirected to a file).
